What to see in Montichelvo

From here you can continue walking until you reach La Creueta Peak, a natural viewing point where you enjoy vistas over Montichelvo and other nearby destinations like Benicolet, Benigánim, Llutxent, Quatretonda and La Pobla del Duc.

Nestled between the Mariola and El Benicadell mountains, Montichelvo’s location is a delight for hikers.
